Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 120 Ambush
When the Titan Legion of the Mechanicus arrived at the city of E.Rantel.

For a human civilization whose overall technological development is still in the Middle Ages, E-Rantel is a big city, but for the Human Empire, its scale is not even as large as the Mechanicus's Exploration Ark.

The members of the Mechanicum who came here under the guidance of their local guides had no excitement in facing a powerful enemy. They brought 15 Titans here to crush the ridiculous country of blasphemy.

But there was absolutely no resistance along the way.

Whether through the remote observation equipment in the Titan or aerial reconnaissance, the city of E-Rantel was in a state where all four gates were wide open and no living people were moving.

The Mechanicus sage leading the army did consider the possibility of an enemy ambush, but looking at his current configuration of double-digit Titans plus hundreds of thousands of Crusaders, he felt that even if there was an ambush, it would not matter.

As the army marched, they soon arrived at the gate of E-Rantel, the only territory of the Sorcerous Kingdom in theory.

A gigantic statue of the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown stands at the city gate, its size even taller than a Warlord-class Titan.

"Blast it, it looks disgusting."

After giving this casual order, the Titans opened fire together, directly turning the statue of Ainz Ooal Gown at the door into a pile of molten slag.

The Skitarii and Titans then worked together to surround the city, with the heavy servitors leading the way, testing the enemy, and the Titans advancing from behind. The Skitarii-assisted formation then entered E-Rantel.

Still no resistance, all the residents here seemed to have disappeared.

Only a few traces of a fight were left.

really weird?
The blasphemers from the Sorcerous Kingdom here knew that the Mechanicus's heavenly soldiers were coming and all ran away?
Or did the Necrons or the Eldar get here before us?

It doesn't feel right. It doesn't match the scanned footprints and various data.

The leading sage looked at the situation in front of him, but neither his human brain nor the electricity in the sacred circuit could figure out what was happening.

Using this as a base, the troops spread out, investigated the surrounding situation, and crushed any enemies if they were found.

Following this order, the Warhounds, which were originally reconnaissance Titans, and the Skitarii began to cooperate in conducting armed reconnaissance of the surrounding areas.

The main method of reconnaissance is to conduct several rounds of scanning first, and if anything is found wrong, immediately launch a round of fire coverage.

Among them, a formation of the Mechanicus protected a Warhound-class Titan and headed towards the big forest outside the city.

After walking for some distance in the forest, they found that the signal of their equipment started to malfunction at some point.

The commander found something wrong, but he knew that he had enough force and reinforcements could arrive at any time if something happened. So out of arrogance, he just sent someone to report the situation and chose to move on.

What no one noticed was that the crusader he sent out to deliver the message was killed by a giant in black armor shortly after leaving the main force.

The members of the Mechanicus advanced some distance, and at this time a thick fog rose in the air unknowingly.

"That's really weird?"

"It's so quiet here. I can't even find a wild animal. There must be something wrong here. I don't know where the enemies are."

As the commander casually said this, the ground where the Mechanicus troops were standing suddenly cracked, and countless hideous-looking vampires holding sharp blades crawled out of the ground, stabbing many Crusaders from bottom to top with the blades blessed by Khorne.

But the Skitarii had all undergone a lot of mechanized transformations after all, especially their legs, most of which had been replaced with mechanical prostheses because of the Mechanicus' traditions and usage considerations. So this time the Vampires' raid looked massive, but actually did not cause much effective casualties.

The transformed brains of the Skitarii provided them with extremely high morale, and these cyborg warriors almost immediately began to fight back. At this time, a group of huge objects were thrown over.

It turned out that the Khorne army not only buried the bloodthirsty demons in the ground, but also bent many resilient trees and used them as slingshots to directly launch the Chaos Eggs as cannonballs.

In fact, although the Khorne Demon Army and its cultists have always given people the impression that they like to chop and chop mindlessly, Khorne is the god of war. Khorne hates cowards and has never been opposed to using strategies.

The remaining vampires and chaos eggs rushed towards the Mechanicus from all directions.

The Mechanicus had seen these hideous monsters in the previous melee, and the Thousand Sons' think tanks who came with them later introduced the names and general characteristics of these things.

The Mechanicum now knew that these were horrific creatures of the Warp, a malevolent being that could be described as Chaos Daemons.

But that's not right. The commander of this unit searched the memories in his sacred circuits. As far as he could remember, there were definitely not so many Chaos Demons entering this world.

Aren't these creatures of the Warp?

The subspace reaction of this world is very dull. Where did they get the reinforcements from?

Although I was full of doubts, this was obviously not the time to think about these things.

Besides, this is a good thing. Before, I was worried that the person had disappeared, but now it saves trouble because he has shown up on his own initiative.

The commander of the unit was only puzzled by the demon army's surprise attack. Instead of being afraid, he felt happy.

Under unified command, the Crusaders launched an attack using equipment mainly equipped with radium weapons and galvanic weapons.

According to previous experience on the battlefield, these strange Chaos Demons have gained the ability to interfere with long-range weapons because of the blessing of the Warp, making it difficult to hit them directly with long-range weapons.

However, the Mechanicus also has its own way of dealing with it. Since direct shooting will be unpredictably deflected due to the influence of the power of the warp, don't aim directly at them, but aim at their sides and destroy them with indirect damage.

Based on previous combat experience, this behavior is effective.

For a moment, laser projectiles with extremely high radiation became the most eye-catching thing on the battlefield.

Radius weapons are a type of equipment mainly used by the Mechanicus. Their killing method is to use powerful energy to accelerate the projectiles, which already have extremely high radiation levels, to an extremely terrifying speed and then launch them.

Afterwards, the projectile will form large areas of secondary ionizing radiation on its trajectory due to the combined effects of high-speed friction and radiation. When the launch speed and density are high enough, such as now, it can also form a laser storm to kill all enemies.

Although the vampires were also Chaos Demons, they were, after all, creatures created from the corpses and souls of the dying residents of E-Rantel City. They began to die one after another in the face of the deadly laser storm.

Chaos Spawn, a deformed monster that has received too many blessings from the Blood God, can survive for a long time in the laser storm. At this time, the Mechanicus priests marching in the team will swing their mechanical axes and, under the cover of heavy combat servitors, chop into pieces any Chaos Spawn that dares to rush over.

Finally, the powerful Warhound Titan used its plasma blaster cannon and turbolaser destructor cannon to eliminate the Chaos Demons on the battlefield one after another like cutting leeks.

Because the heavy weapons on the Warhound Titan are all area damage when used to attack these Chaos Demons, there is no need to aim specifically. The aftermath can create a vacuum zone for the enemy one after another.

Occasionally, some bloodletters and chaos eggs would rush to a place close to the War Hound Titan, and the War Hound Titan would raise its feet and crush them to pieces.

But just when the War Dog Titan was showing its power, suddenly a black-armored giant over five meters tall appeared behind it and hit it violently, causing the War Dog Titan to stagger.
